Title:
  nvidia driver install fails, etc, etc

Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I used the the software sources to install the nvidia drivers (updates
  version), and it failed.  I have noticed several things that are
  buggy-ish.  I'll just list them off, leave it to you to find the bug.
  BTW, this is a fresh 64bit install, and I am willing to do a clean
  install to re-test if that helps.

  - X seems to start, along with network-manager.  Unity does not.
  - The software sources installer reported success, even though I could tell the install failed by checking `dkms status`
  - headers package was missing, and that was the issue according to `dkms autoinstall`
  - 'linux-headers' is a virtual package and an unenforced dependency for dkms

  I feel like each of those things could be regarded as a bug.  I leave
  that to someone else.  Ultimately, the driver failed to install.
  FWIW, I already fixed the issue by installing linux-headers-generic,
  and running `dkms autoinstall`, and that was the state when I file
  this report.  If it helps, I am happy to reinstall and re-test, or
  just remove the drivers/headers and retest.
